The prescription pot did absolutely nothing for him so he had to source it elsewhere.
Pot would provide a good source of income. One issue that would be affected though is that kids would be more exposed to it. Even more so than they are now. Also, driving well being high puts you at a greater risk of getting in an accident. It is a tough call. There are pros and cons to both sides.

Very sorry for your loss! I know that finding something that relieves pain is a godsend and I'm happy to know that he found some relief with the use of pot. Chronic pain is horrible, there is definitely a place for pot use and a good reason to legalize. (I am not being hypocritical as I do see both sides)
